Hey guys, earlier this month, I bought a wagon off of a member (ThxALot). So now I am the happy owner of a 2003 540i Msport Wagon with the 6spd manual swap!!! Super excited, except for the fuel economy and high CA gas prices, but it's comfortable, quick, well maintained, and clean as hell.
Anyhow, I'll be looking to upgrade the old ass dynavin that doesn't work well with my Google Pixel, and maybe a few other things along the way.

So far I've replaced the rear gate and glass shocks, oil change, and so far that's all that it needs. in about two months I'll buy the new Dynavin to replace the one I have.

Man, that is a nice score! 03 M-Sport wagon with a black interior *and* a manual swap? You're winning at life there.

You got all the goodies, nice. I removed the roof rails on mine change the whole look of the car.
Looking good!
folded down the seats and sleep in the car at Willow Springs this past weekend. Fuzzy Granite is the best way to describe the sensation. Anyway, I'm looking at the new Dynavin. Thoughts on it or any other head unit that works with the steering wheel controls?

Anyone ever install a backup camera in their wagon?

I installed an inexpensive camera from EBay hooked up to my Alpine. Comes on automatically in reverse. Excellent!
how did you run the cable to the gate? I have my eye on a cheap wireless camera on ebay to avoid the routing issue.

I did not run it through the tailgate. I could not find a route crossing the hatch opening I was comfortable with. Routed through spare tire well and out the back below the bumper. Thought about wireless but you have add power to the receiver.

Keep on modding and fixing!..
based on the reviews of the previous unit, it should be pretty amazing.

Beautiful!
Replaced my SLS airbags last night. Took about 2 hours, but that included beers. The hardest part was trying to jack up the second side with the first sides airbag completely deflated. Note, jack up both sides and put on jack stands before removing parts. Makes things easier.
